Abstract :
In this paper, a new method for HW/SW co-design is proposed, which is based on sub-graph matching in control data flow graphs (CDFG). The sub-graph matching technology uses the similarity between the graph generated from a multifunctional hardware unit and the sub-graphs in CDFG. As materialization, the models of 4 types of representative similar sub-graphs and their evaluation methods are mainly discussed. Some experiments are given with successful results
